Morning Prayer

I sometimes secretly resent being the caretaker

I do not want to solve the issues

I do not want to be the money maker

I do not want to give out tissues

I do not want to be the mother

I do not want to drive to work

I want to stay here undercover

I know I sound like such a jerk

But sometimes, sometimes I want to run

Away, away straight to the sun and stars

This world makes living not so fun

There's lots of pain and lots of scars

Help me God to live for them:  Amen
